Connect my Assembly to an HRIS

Updated on
August 2, 2023

Connecting to an HRIS provider allows you to easily manage the members of your Assembly. You can add employees automatically or manually to your Assembly from your HRIS, depending on how you configure your settings. 

NOTE: this help article is for connecting your Assembly to all HRIS providers except Slack, G Suite and Office 365.

Who can use this feature?

  • Slack, G Suite, and Office 365 integrations are available for all plan types. All other HRIS integrations require a Standard or Premium plan. 
  • Only Assembly admins can connect your Assembly to an HRIS. This Assembly admin must also be an admin within the HRIS to enable the proper permissions.

What to expect

  • Only one HRIS can be connected at one time.
  • Once you’ve connected to an HRIS, you (or any other Admins within your Assembly) can edit your connection settings or disconnect at any time.
